After introducing the MicroFocus optical system on the company’s flagship Maxima Furiosa, professional lighting design has been moving forward in some exciting ways as an LED lamp could finally be used bare, without accessories, and still maintain a solid degree of softness, contrast, and clarity. To take things up a notch, Maxima has announced that this has allowed the company to lay the groundwork for even more seamless integration with a wide range of modifiers, from Fresnels to softboxes, eliminating the compromises often associated with hybrid optical setups. Which all comes together with the MicroFocus Lens being brought to the Maxima 6 GaN.The MicroFocus Lens Comes to Maxima 6 GaNThe MicroFocus optical system for Maxima 6 GaN features a redesigned internal lens structure engineered for precision and consistency that is quite noteworthy.This new combo features an aluminum collimator that guides the light flow and a 3 mm-thick borosilicate glass lens fused into an array of 150-micron microlenses that homogenizes the output. This design overall should help ensure an even wider integration of Maxima 6 with light modifiers and a higher light transmission efficiency.This matters because this MicroFocus system doesn’t just refine the light output—it redefines how it interacts with an entire setup and the way a light is used, even in its more basic form. The result is a wide and uniform 80° beam, ideal for both open-face shooting and modified lighting environments.Find Out More HereIn addition, the optical unit now extends 19mm beyond the original COB surface, significantly reducing...
